I call BS if I see BS!
Live with it! There's an 'ignore' button if can't!

If that was the case you'd be calling it on most of your posts.....:sneaky:

I was talking about actual working nuclear war heads, not made up numbers from the Russian version of 'Comical Ali' in Iraq. Anyway, nuclear talk is pointless as the UK, France and the US would wipe Russia from the planet if they used one nuclear bomb. Russia will not use a nuclear weapon, it's all cheap talk which we're seeing is just that from their pitiful foray into Ukraine.

The ruble is being propped up with huge reserves of foreign currency. It's artificially held it's value due to that alone and is on a downward trend as said reserves run low.

The sinking of Russia's flagship in the Black Sea is about as humiliating as it gets. Russia is a spent force, Putin called it on via dodgy intelligence and lost. Theres no way out for him now. He's committed numerous war crimes, achieved nothing, destroyed his economy, lost upwards of 50,000 troops, alienated the entire world and even China are keeping very quiet. But most importantly he's united NATO which will cause more countries to sign up and decrease Russia's national security.

It's a sad state of affairs and my feelings go out to the innocent victims. I'll sign off on that note.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: - that's about the post, not the situation, which is terrible!

Here's independent info on number of warheads that, yet again, shows you are posting absolute drivel!
https://dmerharyana.org/russia-nuclear-weapons-tally/#:~:text=Russia has 6,257 nuclear warheads,number of tests at 1,054.

Well I didn’t expect this thread to be all about point scoring - appears even a disgraceful invasion by Russia isn’t safe from the highest level pedantry

One weapon where numbers mean not a lot
Indeed! But the post was simply to demonstrate the level of twaddle posted by 4LEX, who claimed only 'half a dozen'.
Even the cause of the sinking of the Moskva has not been confirmed yet - though I do suspect (and even hope) it was by Ukranian missile.

For goodness sake, why not try giving it a rest for a bit ...

Perhaps the confirmation was the Russian Defence Minister stating there were missile attacks on Kyve in retaliation.
Moskva roll was air defence of the fleet - seems it had the same issues as Russias armour, poor training and poor equipment.

Shocking DC skills I’d imagine too.

There is a picture of him doing the rounds currently. Listing to port with the arse end pretty burnt out.

NO WAY should that thing even been hit by two anti ship missiles, let alone sunk by them.

I'm surprised it's countermeasures couldn't have dealt with it.

Your post reminds me of being in the DC simulator at Raleigh.

The DRU? (Or havoc as it’s also known) I’m a veteran of that bloody thing (and the One at whale island)

Great way to spend a morning. whacking your thumbs with lump hammers in Ice cold water ?

Regarding the counter measures. I’m an ex Golly so ASMD (anti ship missile defence for the layman) is my specialist subject.

Fully agree. A capital ship’s softkill / hard kill should have sorted a duel raid out no issues whatsoever.

The amount of CWIS and PDMS on a Slava is frightening. The fact that they got bounced by two subsonic ASM’s is comical tbh.

You also have to wonder what damage control state / action readiness the ship was in for that limited damage to have spread so quickly.

I know that living for long periods of time in 1 Zulu (royal navy equivalent… again for layman) is a pain in the arse but possibly indicated that they simply did not fear an attack.

Either way. It’s a comical loss imo.

No wonder the pinkie MSM are not covering it.
